I really shouldn't be hate-reading this, but I just can't resist.
We want to serve both tireless players who dedicate hundreds of hours to many games, and those of us who no longer have time to play any games but are no less passionate about the medium, still connecting with new releases and important updates through videos, essays, podcasts and social media conversations.
Yes, Polygon definitely caters to people who no "longer have time to play any games" but do like bitching about games.
A badge and some lists might sound like a laughably simple fix to a notoriously complex problem, and it sort of is!
Not shown: the price sheet for associating your game with a badge or a listicle.
Review scores are just awkward when you are a whore who accepts money in exchange for publicity. Attaching a number risks revealing that you didn't actually play the game. Attaching a low number pisses off the client. |
